Just Us Girls #838 -- Anything Goes STENCIL Week

Join us! It is Anything Goes STENCIL week at Just Us Girls.  Carol Mc is challenging us to use a stencil in our cards.  I decided to go old school this week.  I used a simple, one-layer stencil to quickly and easily make two dozen cards for donation. In the featured card, I used an adorable ducky from Rabbit Hole to create baby cards; in the second card, I used a ribbon stencil from Brutus Monroe to create breast cancer encouragement cards.  On the ducky card, I added a beak and eyes with Copic markers. I trimmed the panel and added a scallop border and line sentiment. I mounted the panel on a yellow card base and finished with gems. The edges of the second cancer card are embossed, and a layered, vellum-backed sentiment and gems were added to finish it off. So easy and very effective.
